しかし、複数の監視部を備える電池システムでは、コスト低減等のために各監視部の共通化が望まれる。しかし、上記形態では、各監視部に設定される識別情報が互いに異なることから、各監視部を共通化できない問題が生じる。 However, in a battery system including a plurality of monitoring units, it is desired that each monitoring unit be shared in order to reduce costs and the like. However, in the above embodiment, since the identification information set in each monitoring section is different from each other, a problem arises in that each monitoring section cannot be shared.

（第１実施形態）
以下、本発明に係る電池システムを具体化した第１実施形態について、図面を参照しつつ説明する。本実施形態の電池システム１００は、車両に搭載されている。 (First embodiment)
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of a battery system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The battery system 100 of this embodiment is mounted on a vehicle.

図１に示すように、電池システム１００は、組電池２０と、複数の監視部Ｋと、制御部１０と、を備える。組電池２０は、複数の電池セル２２が直列接続されて構成されている。具体的には、組電池２０は、２以上の電池セル２２を含む複数の電池モジュールＭが、接続部材としてのモジュール間ワイヤ（以下、単にワイヤ）Ｗにより直列接続されて構成されている。組電池２０を構成する複数の電池モジュールＭのうち、最も高圧側に設けられた第１電池モジュールＭ１は、１０個の電池セル２２を含む。第１電池モジュールＭ１よりも低圧側に設けられた第２～第４電池モジュールＭ２～Ｍ４は、それぞれ２０個の電池セル２２を含む。 As shown in FIG. 1, the battery system 100 includes an assembled battery 20, a plurality of monitoring units K, and a control unit 10. The assembled battery 20 includes a plurality of battery cells 22 connected in series. Specifically, the assembled battery 20 is configured such that a plurality of battery modules M each including two or more battery cells 22 are connected in series by inter-module wires (hereinafter simply referred to as wires) W serving as connection members. Among the plurality of battery modules M constituting the assembled battery 20, the first battery module M1 provided on the highest voltage side includes ten battery cells 22. The second to fourth battery modules M2 to M4 provided on the lower voltage side than the first battery module M1 each include 20 battery cells 22.

監視部Ｋは、所定個数の電池セル２２毎に設けられる。監視部Ｋにはコネクタ３４が設けられている。コネクタ３４は、例えば監視部Ｋの長手方向である所定方向ＹＡに並んだ２１個の入力端子（以下、単に端子という）ＣＮ１～ＣＮ２１を有している。コネクタ３４の各端子ＣＮには、電池セル２２の一端から延びる電気配線３２が接続されている。監視部Ｋには、この電気配線３２を介して、各電池セル２２の両端の端子電圧がそれぞれ入力される。 The monitoring unit K is provided for each predetermined number of battery cells 22. The monitoring section K is provided with a connector 34. The connector 34 has 21 input terminals (hereinafter simply referred to as terminals) CN1 to CN21 arranged in a predetermined direction YA, which is the longitudinal direction of the monitoring section K, for example. Electric wiring 32 extending from one end of the battery cell 22 is connected to each terminal CN of the connector 34 . The terminal voltages at both ends of each battery cell 22 are input to the monitoring unit K via the electrical wiring 32 .

監視部Ｋは、コネクタ３４において、所定方向ＹＡにおいて隣接する２つずつの端子ＣＮ、つまり端子対ＣＴの入力電圧（端子電圧）により、２０個の端子間電圧を取得する。例えば、コネクタ３４に含まれる２０個の端子対ＣＴのうち、いずれの端子対ＣＴが電池セル２２の両端に接続されている場合には、その端子対ＣＴに対応する端子間電圧は、電池セル２２の端子間電圧、つまりセル電圧ＶＣとなる。 In the connector 34, the monitoring unit K acquires 20 inter-terminal voltages based on the input voltages (terminal voltages) of two adjacent terminals CN in the predetermined direction YA, that is, the terminal pair CT. For example, when any terminal pair CT among the 20 terminal pairs CT included in the connector 34 is connected to both ends of the battery cell 22, the voltage between the terminals corresponding to that terminal pair CT is 22, that is, the cell voltage VC.

監視部Ｋは、通信回路３６を備えており、取得したセル電圧ＶＣを示すセル電圧データＤＶを制御部１０に無線送信する。また、監視部Ｋは、通信回路３６を介して制御部１０からの各種指令を無線受信する。 The monitoring unit K includes a communication circuit 36 and wirelessly transmits cell voltage data DV indicating the acquired cell voltage VC to the control unit 10. Additionally, the monitoring unit K wirelessly receives various commands from the control unit 10 via the communication circuit 36.

次に、制御部１０について説明する。制御部１０は、ＣＰＵ、ＲＯＭ、ＲＡＭ等よりなるマイクロコンピュータを主体として構成され、ＲＯＭに記憶された各種の制御プログラムを実行することで複数の監視部Ｋを個別に制御する。 Next, the control section 10 will be explained. The control unit 10 is mainly composed of a microcomputer including a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc., and individually controls the plurality of monitoring units K by executing various control programs stored in the ROM.

制御部１０は、各監視部Ｋと通信可能に構成されている。具体的には、制御部１０は、通信回路１２を備え、監視部Ｋが無線送信したセル電圧データＤＶを無線受信する。制御部１０は、受信したセル電圧データＤＶを用いて、組電池２０を制御する。例えば、制御部１０は、受信したセル電圧データＤＶを用いて、組電池２０の充電状態（ＳＯＣ：State Of Charge）を演算する。そして、組電池２０が過充電や過放電とならないようにするための指令を、通信回路１２を介して監視部Ｋに無線送信する。 The control unit 10 is configured to be able to communicate with each monitoring unit K. Specifically, the control unit 10 includes a communication circuit 12, and wirelessly receives cell voltage data DV wirelessly transmitted by the monitoring unit K. The control unit 10 controls the battery pack 20 using the received cell voltage data DV. For example, the control unit 10 calculates the state of charge (SOC) of the assembled battery 20 using the received cell voltage data DV. Then, a command to prevent the assembled battery 20 from being overcharged or overdischarged is wirelessly transmitted to the monitoring unit K via the communication circuit 12.

ところで、電池システム１００では、複数の監視部Ｋ毎に充電状態を監視したり、故障診断を実施したりするため、制御部１０が複数の監視部Ｋを各々識別する必要がある。例えば、各監視部Ｋに固有の識別情報ＩＤが設定されている場合を検討する。なお、識別情報ＩＤを設定する形態としては、監視部Ｋが有する記憶部に、識別情報ＩＤが記憶される形態を含む。この場合、制御部１０は、監視部Ｋとの無線通信により監視部Ｋに設定された識別情報ＩＤを取得することで、各監視部Ｋを識別することができる。 By the way, in the battery system 100, the control unit 10 needs to identify each of the plurality of monitoring units K in order to monitor the state of charge and perform failure diagnosis for each of the plurality of monitoring units K. For example, consider a case where each monitoring unit K is set with unique identification information ID. Note that the form of setting the identification information ID includes a form in which the identification information ID is stored in a storage unit included in the monitoring unit K. In this case, the control unit 10 can identify each monitoring unit K by acquiring the identification information ID set in the monitoring unit K through wireless communication with the monitoring unit K.

電池システム１００では、コスト低減等のために各監視部Ｋの共通化が望まれている。しかし、上記の場合、各監視部Ｋには互いに異なる識別情報ＩＤが設定されているため、各監視部Ｋを共通化することができない問題が生じる。 In the battery system 100, it is desired that each monitoring section K be made common in order to reduce costs and the like. However, in the above case, since different identification information IDs are set for each monitoring section K, a problem arises in that each monitoring section K cannot be shared.

本実施形態の電池システム１００は、上記問題を解決するために、各監視部Ｋはセル電圧ＶＣを取得する一方、端子対ＣＴに対応する端子間電圧としてゼロ電圧ＶＺを取得する。具体的には、コネクタ３４に含まれる２０個の端子対ＣＴのうち、いずれかがワイヤＷの両端に接続されるようにし、ワイヤＷの端子間電圧をゼロ電圧ＶＺとして取得する。ゼロ電圧ＶＺは、電圧値が略ゼロであり、具体的には電圧値が閾値よりも小さい電圧である。 In the battery system 100 of this embodiment, in order to solve the above problem, each monitoring unit K acquires the cell voltage VC, and also acquires the zero voltage VZ as the inter-terminal voltage corresponding to the terminal pair CT. Specifically, one of the 20 terminal pairs CT included in the connector 34 is connected to both ends of the wire W, and the voltage between the terminals of the wire W is obtained as zero voltage VZ. The zero voltage VZ has a voltage value of approximately zero, and specifically is a voltage whose voltage value is smaller than a threshold value.

本実施形態の電池システム１００では、各監視部Ｋにおいて、ゼロ電圧ＶＺが取得される端子対ＣＴ、つまりワイヤＷの両端に接続される端子対ＣＴである特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置が、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる。各監視部Ｋは、特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置に基づいて識別情報ＩＤを生成する識別情報生成処理を実施する。そのため、各監視部Ｋは、内部に識別情報ＩＤが設定されている必要がなく、この結果、電池システム１００を構成する複数の監視部Ｋを共通化することができる。 In the battery system 100 of the present embodiment, in each monitoring unit K, the position of the specific terminal pair CTP, which is the terminal pair CT from which zero voltage VZ is obtained, that is, the terminal pair CT connected to both ends of the wire W, is Different for each K. Each monitoring unit K performs identification information generation processing to generate identification information ID based on the position of the specific terminal pair CTP. Therefore, each monitoring section K does not need to have identification information ID set therein, and as a result, a plurality of monitoring sections K forming the battery system 100 can be shared.

図２に本実施形態の識別処理及び識別情報生成処理のフローチャートを示す。識別処理は、識別情報生成処理により生成された識別情報ＩＤを用いて各監視部Ｋを識別する処理であり、制御部１０により実施される。図２（ａ）は、制御部１０による識別処理を示すフローチャートであり、図２（ｂ）は、監視部Ｋによる識別情報生成処理を示すフローチャートである。制御部１０及び監視部Ｋは、車両の起動時に、つまり車両のイグニッションスイッチをオン状態へ切り替える際に各処理を実施する。 FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of the identification processing and identification information generation processing of this embodiment. The identification process is a process of identifying each monitoring unit K using the identification information ID generated by the identification information generation process, and is executed by the control unit 10. FIG. 2(a) is a flowchart showing identification processing by the control unit 10, and FIG. 2(b) is a flowchart showing identification information generation processing by the monitoring unit K. The control unit 10 and the monitoring unit K perform various processes when the vehicle is started, that is, when the ignition switch of the vehicle is turned on.

まず、監視部Ｋによる識別情報生成処理について説明する。監視部Ｋは、識別情報生成処理を開始すると、まずステップＳ３０において、制御部１０からデータ送信指令を取得したかを判定する。 First, identification information generation processing by the monitoring unit K will be explained. When the monitoring unit K starts the identification information generation process, it first determines whether a data transmission command has been obtained from the control unit 10 in step S30.

ステップＳ３０で否定判定すると、ステップＳ３０を繰り返す。一方、ステップＳ３０で肯定判定すると、ステップＳ３２において、各端子間電圧を取得する。続くステップＳ３４において、ステップＳ３２で取得された各端子間電圧を、セル電圧ＶＣとゼロ電圧ＶＺとに分別するための分別処理を実施する。 If a negative determination is made in step S30, step S30 is repeated. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S30, the voltage between each terminal is acquired in step S32. In the following step S34, a classification process is performed to classify the inter-terminal voltages acquired in step S32 into cell voltage VC and zero voltage VZ.

ステップＳ３４では、監視部Ｋは、各端子間電圧が所定の閾値電圧ＶＡよりも大きいかを判定する。閾値電圧ＶＡは、予め定められた一定値であり、例えば０．５Ｖである。端子間電圧が閾値電圧ＶＡよりも大きい場合には、その端子間電圧をセル電圧ＶＣと判定し、その端子間電圧に「１」の識別記号を対応付ける。また、端子間電圧が閾値電圧ＶＡよりも小さい場合には、その端子間電圧をゼロ電圧ＶＺと判定し、その端子間電圧に「０」の識別記号を対応付ける。 In step S34, the monitoring unit K determines whether the voltage between each terminal is larger than a predetermined threshold voltage VA. The threshold voltage VA is a predetermined constant value, for example, 0.5V. When the inter-terminal voltage is larger than the threshold voltage VA, the inter-terminal voltage is determined to be the cell voltage VC, and the identification symbol "1" is associated with the inter-terminal voltage. Further, when the inter-terminal voltage is smaller than the threshold voltage VA, the inter-terminal voltage is determined to be zero voltage VZ, and the identification symbol "0" is associated with the inter-terminal voltage.

ステップＳ３６において、識別情報ＩＤを生成する。具体的には、ステップＳ３４で各端子間電圧に対応付けられた識別記号を、コネクタ３４の端子ＣＮ１～ＣＮ２１の順番に並べた識別情報ＩＤを生成する。そのため、ステップＳ３６では、「０」の識別記号の位置、つまり、ゼロ電圧ＶＺが取得される特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置に基づいて識別情報ＩＤが生成される、ということができる。本実施形態では、コネクタ３４において、特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置が監視部Ｋ毎に異なる。そのため、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる識別情報ＩＤが生成される。なお、本実施形態において、ステップＳ３６の処理が「生成部」に相当する。 In step S36, identification information ID is generated. Specifically, in step S34, identification information ID is generated in which identification symbols associated with each terminal voltage are arranged in the order of terminals CN1 to CN21 of the connector 34. Therefore, in step S36, it can be said that the identification information ID is generated based on the position of the identification symbol "0", that is, the position of the specific terminal pair CTP from which the zero voltage VZ is obtained. In this embodiment, the position of the specific terminal pair CTP in the connector 34 differs for each monitoring unit K. Therefore, different identification information ID is generated for each monitoring section K. Note that in this embodiment, the process in step S36 corresponds to a "generation unit".

続くステップＳ３８において、セル電圧データＤＶ及び識別情報ＩＤを含むデータを制御部１０に送信し、識別情報生成処理を終了する。 In the subsequent step S38, data including the cell voltage data DV and identification information ID is transmitted to the control unit 10, and the identification information generation process is ended.

次に、制御部１０による識別処理について説明する。制御部１０は、識別処理を開始すると、まずステップＳ１０において、各監視部Ｋにデータ送信指令を送信する。続くステップＳ１２において、各監視部Ｋからデータを取得したかを判定する。なお、本実施形態において、ステップＳ１２の処理が「識別情報取得部」に相当する。 Next, the identification processing by the control unit 10 will be explained. When the control unit 10 starts the identification process, it first transmits a data transmission command to each monitoring unit K in step S10. In the following step S12, it is determined whether data has been acquired from each monitoring unit K. In addition, in this embodiment, the process of step S12 corresponds to the "identification information acquisition unit".

ステップＳ１２で否定判定すると、ステップＳ１２を繰り返す。一方、ステップＳ１２で肯定判定すると、ステップＳ１４において、ステップＳ１２でデータが取得された監視部Ｋを識別する。なお、本実施形態において、ステップＳ１４の処理が「識別部」に相当する。 If a negative determination is made in step S12, step S12 is repeated. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S12, the monitoring unit K whose data was acquired in step S12 is identified in step S14. In addition, in this embodiment, the process of step S14 corresponds to an "identification part."

ステップＳ１４では、制御部１０は、制御部１０の記憶部１４（図１参照）に記憶されたマップＭＰ（図３参照）を用いて、ステップＳ１２で取得されたデータに含まれる識別情報ＩＤに基づいて、各監視部Ｋを識別する。なお、記憶部１４は、例えば、ＲＯＭ、書き換え可能な不揮発性メモリ等によって構成されている。 In step S14, the control unit 10 uses the map MP (see FIG. 3) stored in the storage unit 14 (see FIG. 1) of the control unit 10 to match the identification information ID included in the data acquired in step S12. Based on this, each monitoring unit K is identified. Note that the storage unit 14 includes, for example, a ROM, a rewritable nonvolatile memory, and the like.

マップＭＰは、各監視部Ｋと識別情報ＩＤとが対応付けられた対応情報である。マップＭＰには、電池システム１００に含まれる複数の監視部Ｋに対する識別情報ＩＤが、各監視部Ｋに対応付けて記憶されている。本実施形態では、マップＭＰに記憶されている識別情報ＩＤは、電池システム１００に含まれる監視部Ｋに対応する識別情報ＩＤに限られている。 The map MP is correspondence information in which each monitoring unit K and identification information ID are associated with each other. In the map MP, identification information IDs for a plurality of monitoring units K included in the battery system 100 are stored in association with each monitoring unit K. In this embodiment, the identification information ID stored in the map MP is limited to the identification information ID corresponding to the monitoring unit K included in the battery system 100.

続くステップＳ１６において、電池システム１００に含まれる全ての監視部Ｋからデータを取得したかを判定する。ステップＳ１６で否定判定すると、ステップＳ１２に戻る。一方、ステップＳ１６で肯定判定すると、ステップＳ１８において、全ての監視部Ｋが識別されたかを判定する。 In the following step S16, it is determined whether data has been acquired from all monitoring units K included in the battery system 100. If a negative determination is made in step S16, the process returns to step S12. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S16, it is determined in step S18 whether all monitoring units K have been identified.

ステップＳ１８で肯定判定すると、識別処理を終了する。一方、ステップＳ１８で否定判定すると、つまり識別されていない非識別監視部が存在する場合、ステップＳ２０において、非識別監視部を特定する。ステップＳ２０では、マップＭＰに記憶されている識別情報ＩＤから、ステップＳ１４で識別された識別情報ＩＤを除くことにより、非識別監視部を特定する。 If an affirmative determination is made in step S18, the identification process ends. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S18, that is, if there is an unidentified monitoring section that has not been identified, the unidentified monitoring section is identified in step S20. In step S20, the unidentified monitoring unit is identified by removing the identification information ID identified in step S14 from the identification information ID stored in the map MP.

ステップＳ２２において、監視部Ｋの識別異常の発生を通知し、識別処理を終了する。ここで、識別異常は、全ての監視部Ｋを識別できない異常である。識別異常が発生した場合、制御部１０が各監視部Ｋに対応する電池セル２２のセル電圧ＶＣを適切に取得できず、組電池２０を適切に制御することができない。そのため、識別異常が発生した場合には、車両を正常に起動することができない。なお、識別異常の発生の通知方法としては、警告音を発生させる、又はカーナビゲーション装置のディスプレイに異常を表示させる等の方法がある。識別異常の発生を通知する際に、ステップＳ２０で特定した非識別監視部を通知することで、ドライバは非識別監視部を認識することができ、非識別監視部の交換等を容易に実施することができる。 In step S22, the occurrence of an identification abnormality in the monitoring unit K is notified, and the identification process is ended. Here, the identification abnormality is an abnormality in which all monitoring units K cannot be identified. When an identification abnormality occurs, the control unit 10 cannot appropriately acquire the cell voltage VC of the battery cell 22 corresponding to each monitoring unit K, and cannot appropriately control the assembled battery 20. Therefore, if an identification abnormality occurs, the vehicle cannot be started normally. Note that methods for notifying the occurrence of an identification abnormality include methods such as generating a warning sound or displaying the abnormality on the display of the car navigation device. By notifying the non-identification monitoring unit identified in step S20 when notifying the occurrence of an identification abnormality, the driver can recognize the non-identification monitoring unit and easily replace the non-identification monitoring unit. be able to.

続いて、図３に、マップＭＰを示す。図３では、電池システム１００に含まれる複数の監視部Ｋのうち、第１監視部Ｋ１、第２監視部Ｋ２、及び第３監視部Ｋ３と、これらの監視部Ｋに対応する識別情報ＩＤが示されている。 Next, FIG. 3 shows the map MP.

そのため、第１監視部Ｋ１では、第１１端子ＣＮ１１と第１２端子ＣＮ１２とが、第１電池モジュールＭ１と第２電池モジュールＭ２との間に接続されている。本実施形態では、第１１端子ＣＮ１１と第１２端子ＣＮ１２とが、第１電池モジュールＭ１と第２電池モジュールＭ２との間に設けられる第１ワイヤＷ１の両端に接続されて、特定端子対ＣＴＰを構成している。具体的には、第１ワイヤＷ１の高圧側に第１１端子ＣＮ１１が接続されており、第１ワイヤＷ１の低圧側に第１２端子ＣＮ１２が接続されている。 Therefore, in the first monitoring unit K1, the eleventh terminal CN11 and the twelfth terminal CN12 are connected between the first battery module M1 and the second battery module M2. In this embodiment, the eleventh terminal CN11 and the twelfth terminal CN12 are connected to both ends of the first wire W1 provided between the first battery module M1 and the second battery module M2, and the specific terminal pair CTP is connected to both ends of the first wire W1. It consists of Specifically, the eleventh terminal CN11 is connected to the high voltage side of the first wire W1, and the twelfth terminal CN12 is connected to the low voltage side of the first wire W1.

したがって、第１監視部Ｋ１では、第１ワイヤＷ１よりも高圧側の第１電池モジュールＭ１から、１０個のセル電圧ＶＣが取得されるとともに、第１ワイヤＷ１よりも低圧側の第２電池モジュールＭ２から、９個のセル電圧ＶＣが取得される。そして、第１電池モジュールＭ１から取得されるセル電圧ＶＣと、第２電池モジュールＭ２から取得されるセル電圧ＶＣとの間において、ゼロ電圧ＶＺが取得される。この結果、図３に示すように、マップＭＰでは１０個の識別記号「１」と、１個の識別記号「０」と、９個の識別記号「１」とが、この順に並んで構成される情報が、第１監視部Ｋ１に対応する識別情報ＩＤとして記憶されている。 Therefore, in the first monitoring unit K1, 10 cell voltages VC are acquired from the first battery module M1 on the higher voltage side than the first wire W1, and the second battery module M1 on the lower voltage side than the first wire W1 is obtained. Nine cell voltages VC are obtained from M2. Then, zero voltage VZ is obtained between the cell voltage VC obtained from the first battery module M1 and the cell voltage VC obtained from the second battery module M2. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the map MP consists of 10 identification symbols "1", 1 identification symbol "0", and 9 identification symbols "1" arranged in this order. The information is stored as identification information ID corresponding to the first monitoring unit K1.

また、第２監視部Ｋ２は、第２電池モジュールＭ２に含まれる電池セル２２のうち、低圧側の１１個の電池セル２２（以下、低圧側電池セル群２４Ｌ）のセル電圧ＶＣを取得するとともに、第３電池モジュールＭ３の高圧側電池セル群２４Ｈ（８個の電池セル２２を含む）のセル電圧ＶＣを取得する。具体的には、第２監視部Ｋ２のコネクタ３４が有する端子ＣＮ１～ＣＮ２１のうち、端子ＣＮ１～ＣＮ１２が、第２電池モジュールＭ２の低圧側電池セル群２４Ｌにおける接続部ＰＳ及び端部ＰＥに接続されている。また、端子ＣＮ１３～ＣＮ２１が、第３電池モジュールＭ３の高圧側電池セル群２４Ｈにおける接続部ＰＳ及び端部ＰＥに接続されている。 In addition, the second monitoring unit K2 acquires the cell voltage VC of the 11 battery cells 22 on the low voltage side (hereinafter referred to as the low voltage side battery cell group 24L) among the battery cells 22 included in the second battery module M2. , obtains the cell voltage VC of the high voltage side battery cell group 24H (including eight battery cells 22) of the third battery module M3.

Further, terminals CN13 to CN21 are connected to the connection portion PS and end portion PE of the high voltage side battery cell group 24H of the third battery module M3.

そのため、第２監視部Ｋ２では、第１２端子ＣＮ１２と第１３端子ＣＮ１３とが、第２電池モジュールＭ２と第３電池モジュールＭ３との間に接続されている。本実施形態では、第１２端子ＣＮ１２と第１３端子ＣＮ１３とが、第２電池モジュールＭ２と第３電池モジュールＭ３との間に設けられる第２ワイヤＷ２の両端に接続されて、特定端子対ＣＴＰを構成している。具体的には、第２ワイヤＷ２の高圧側に第１２端子ＣＮ１２が接続されており、第２ワイヤＷ２の低圧側に第１３端子ＣＮ１３が接続されている。 Therefore, in the second monitoring unit K2, the twelfth terminal CN12 and the thirteenth terminal CN13 are connected between the second battery module M2 and the third battery module M3. In the present embodiment, the twelfth terminal CN12 and the thirteenth terminal CN13 are connected to both ends of the second wire W2 provided between the second battery module M2 and the third battery module M3, and connect the specific terminal pair CTP. It consists of Specifically, the twelfth terminal CN12 is connected to the high voltage side of the second wire W2, and the thirteenth terminal CN13 is connected to the low voltage side of the second wire W2.

したがって、第２監視部Ｋ２では、第２ワイヤＷ２よりも高圧側の第２電池モジュールＭ２から、１１個のセル電圧ＶＣが取得されるとともに、第２ワイヤＷ２よりも低圧側の第３電池モジュールＭ３から、８個のセル電圧ＶＣが取得される。そして、第２電池モジュールＭ２から取得されるセル電圧ＶＣと、第３電池モジュールＭ３から取得されるセル電圧ＶＣとの間において、ゼロ電圧ＶＺが取得される。この結果、図３に示すように、マップＭＰでは１１個の識別記号「１」と、１個の識別記号「０」と、８個の識別記号「１」とが、この順に並んで構成される情報が、第２監視部Ｋ２に対応する識別情報ＩＤとして記憶されている。 Therefore, in the second monitoring unit K2, 11 cell voltages VC are acquired from the second battery module M2 on the higher voltage side than the second wire W2, and at the same time, the 11 cell voltages VC are acquired from the third battery module M2 on the lower voltage side than the second wire W2. Eight cell voltages VC are obtained from M3. Then, zero voltage VZ is obtained between the cell voltage VC obtained from the second battery module M2 and the cell voltage VC obtained from the third battery module M3. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the map MP consists of 11 identification symbols "1", 1 identification symbol "0", and 8 identification symbols "1" arranged in this order. The information is stored as identification information ID corresponding to the second monitoring section K2.

また、第３監視部Ｋ３は、第３電池モジュールＭ３の低圧側電池セル群２４Ｌ（１２個の電池セル２２を含む）のセル電圧ＶＣを取得するとともに、第４電池モジュールＭ４の高圧側電池セル群２４Ｈ（７個の電池セル２２を含む）のセル電圧ＶＣを取得する。具体的には、第３監視部Ｋ３のコネクタ３４が有する端子ＣＮ１～ＣＮ２１のうち、端子ＣＮ１～ＣＮ１３が、第３電池モジュールＭ３の低圧側電池セル群２４Ｌにおける接続部ＰＳ及び端部ＰＥに接続されている。また、端子ＣＮ１４～ＣＮ２１が、第４電池モジュールＭ４の高圧側電池セル群２４Ｈにおける接続部ＰＳ及び端部ＰＥに接続されている。 Further, the third monitoring unit K3 acquires the cell voltage VC of the low voltage side battery cell group 24L (including 12 battery cells 22) of the third battery module M3, and also acquires the cell voltage VC of the high voltage side battery cell group of the fourth battery module M4.

Specifically, among the terminals CN1 to CN21 of the connector 34 of the third monitoring unit K3, the terminals CN1 to CN13 are connected to the connection part PS and end PE in the low voltage side battery cell group 24L of the third battery module M3. has been done. Further, terminals CN14 to CN21 are connected to the connection portion PS and end portion PE of the high voltage side battery cell group 24H of the fourth battery module M4.

そのため、第３監視部Ｋ３では、第１３端子ＣＮ１３と第１４端子ＣＮ１４とが、第３電池モジュールＭ３と第４電池モジュールＭ４との間に接続されている。本実施形態では、第１３端子ＣＮ１３と第１４端子ＣＮ１４とが、第３電池モジュールＭ３と第４電池モジュールＭ４との間に設けられる第３ワイヤＷ３の両端に接続されて、特定端子対ＣＴＰを構成している。具体的には、第３ワイヤＷ３の高圧側に第１３端子ＣＮ１３が接続されており、第３ワイヤＷ３の低圧側に第１４端子ＣＮ１４が接続されている。 Therefore, in the third monitoring unit K3, the thirteenth terminal CN13 and the fourteenth terminal CN14 are connected between the third battery module M3 and the fourth battery module M4. In this embodiment, the 13th terminal CN13 and the 14th terminal CN14 are connected to both ends of the third wire W3 provided between the third battery module M3 and the fourth battery module M4, and connect the specific terminal pair CTP. It consists of Specifically, the thirteenth terminal CN13 is connected to the high voltage side of the third wire W3, and the fourteenth terminal CN14 is connected to the low voltage side of the third wire W3.

したがって、第３監視部Ｋ３では、第３ワイヤＷ３よりも高圧側の第３電池モジュールＭ３から、１２個のセル電圧ＶＣが取得されるとともに、第３ワイヤＷ３よりも低圧側の第４電池モジュールＭ４から、７個のセル電圧ＶＣが取得される。そして、第３電池モジュールＭ３から取得されるセル電圧ＶＣと、第４電池モジュールＭ４から取得されるセル電圧ＶＣとの間において、ゼロ電圧ＶＺが取得される。この結果、図３に示すように、マップＭＰでは１２個の識別記号「１」と、１個の識別記号「０」と、７個の識別記号「１」とが、この順に並んで構成される情報が、第３監視部Ｋ３に対応する識別情報ＩＤとして記憶されている。 Therefore, in the third monitoring unit K3, 12 cell voltages VC are acquired from the third battery module M3 on the higher voltage side than the third wire W3, and at the same time, the 12 cell voltages VC are acquired from the fourth battery module M3 on the lower voltage side than the third wire W3. Seven cell voltages VC are obtained from M4. Then, zero voltage VZ is obtained between the cell voltage VC obtained from the third battery module M3 and the cell voltage VC obtained from the fourth battery module M4. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the map MP consists of 12 identification symbols "1", 1 identification symbol "0", and 7 identification symbols "1" arranged in this order. The information is stored as identification information ID corresponding to the third monitoring section K3.

このように、電池システム１００に含まれる複数の監視部Ｋでは、コネクタ３４において、特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置が監視部Ｋ毎に異なる。具体的には、各監視部Ｋにおいて、対応するワイヤＷよりも高圧側の電池モジュールＭからセル電圧ＶＣを取得する電池セル２２の個数と、このワイヤＷよりも低圧側の電池モジュールＭからセル電圧ＶＣを取得する電池セル２２の個数とが、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる。この結果、各監視部Ｋに対応する識別情報ＩＤにおいて、識別記号「０」の位置を異ならせることができ、特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置に基づいて、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる識別情報ＩＤを生成することができる。 In this manner, in the plurality of monitoring units K included in the battery system 100, the position of the specific terminal pair CTP in the connector 34 differs for each monitoring unit K. Specifically, in each monitoring unit K, the number of battery cells 22 from which cell voltage VC is obtained from the battery module M on the higher voltage side than the corresponding wire W, and the number of cells 22 from which the cell voltage VC is obtained from the battery module M on the lower voltage side than this wire W. The number of battery cells 22 from which voltage VC is obtained differs for each monitoring unit K. As a result, the position of the identification symbol "0" can be made different in the identification information ID corresponding to each monitoring unit K, and a different identification information ID is generated for each monitoring unit K based on the position of the specific terminal pair CTP. can do.

各監視部Ｋでは、識別情報ＩＤの生成後、識別情報ＩＤの生成に使用されたセル電圧ＶＣは、セル電圧データＤＶとして制御部１０に送信され、組電池２０を制御するために用いられる。つまり、本実施形態では、セル電圧ＶＣは、監視部Ｋを識別するためのデータと、組電池２０を制御するためのデータと、を兼用する。そのため、組電池２０を制御するためのデータとは別に、監視部Ｋを識別するためのデータを生成する必要がなく、監視部Ｋの構成が複雑化することを抑制することができる。 In each monitoring unit K, after generating the identification information ID, the cell voltage VC used to generate the identification information ID is transmitted to the control unit 10 as cell voltage data DV, and is used to control the assembled battery 20. That is, in this embodiment, the cell voltage VC serves both as data for identifying the monitoring unit K and as data for controlling the assembled battery 20. Therefore, there is no need to generate data for identifying the monitoring section K separately from data for controlling the assembled battery 20, and it is possible to suppress the configuration of the monitoring section K from becoming complicated.

以上詳述した本実施形態によれば、以下の効果が得られるようになる。 According to this embodiment described in detail above, the following effects can be obtained.

・本実施形態では、電池システム１００は、複数の電池セル２２を有する組電池２０と、複数の監視部Ｋとを備え、各監視部Ｋは、コネクタ３４における複数の端子ＣＮを介してセル電圧ＶＣとゼロ電圧ＶＺとを取得する。各監視部Ｋでは、複数の端子ＣＮにおいて、ゼロ電圧ＶＺが取得される特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置が異なっており、この特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置に基づいて、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる識別情報ＩＤを生成することができる。そのため、監視部Ｋの内部に識別情報ＩＤが設定されている必要がなく、電池システム１００において、複数の監視部Ｋを共通化することができる。 - In this embodiment, the battery system 100 includes a battery pack 20 having a plurality of battery cells 22 and a plurality of monitoring sections K, and each monitoring section K monitors the cell voltage via a plurality of terminals CN in the connector 34. Obtain VC and zero voltage VZ. In each monitoring unit K, the positions of the specific terminal pair CTP from which the zero voltage VZ is obtained are different among the plurality of terminals CN, and based on the position of this specific terminal pair CTP, different identification information ID is provided for each monitoring unit K. can be generated. Therefore, there is no need for identification information ID to be set inside the monitoring section K, and a plurality of monitoring sections K can be shared in the battery system 100.

・本実施形態の組電池２０では、２以上の電池セル２２を含む複数の電池モジュールＭがワイヤＷにより直列接続されており、各監視部Ｋは、ワイヤＷの端子間電圧をゼロ電圧ＶＺとして取得する。監視部Ｋにおいて、各電池セル２２の端子間電圧を取得する構成と、ワイヤＷの端子間電圧を取得する構成とは共通化することができる。そのため、監視部Ｋ毎に特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置を異ならせつつ、これらの監視部Ｋを共通化することができる。 - In the assembled battery 20 of this embodiment, a plurality of battery modules M including two or more battery cells 22 are connected in series by wires W, and each monitoring unit K sets the voltage between the terminals of the wire W to zero voltage VZ. get. In the monitoring unit K, the configuration for acquiring the inter-terminal voltage of each battery cell 22 and the configuration for acquiring the inter-terminal voltage of the wire W can be made common. Therefore, while the positions of the specific terminal pairs CTP are different for each monitoring section K, these monitoring sections K can be made common.

・本実施形態では、各監視部Ｋにおいて、対応するワイヤＷよりも高圧側の電池モジュールＭからセル電圧ＶＣを取得する電池セル２２の個数と、このワイヤＷよりも低圧側の電池モジュールＭからセル電圧ＶＣを取得する電池セル２２の個数とが、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる。そのため、これらの電池セル２２のセル電圧ＶＣを取得するとともに、その間のワイヤＷに基づいてゼロ電圧ＶＺを取得することで、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる識別情報ＩＤを生成することができる。 - In this embodiment, in each monitoring unit K, the number of battery cells 22 that acquire the cell voltage VC from the battery module M on the higher voltage side than the corresponding wire W, and the number of battery cells 22 from which the cell voltage VC is obtained from the battery module M on the lower voltage side than this wire W are determined. The number of battery cells 22 from which cell voltage VC is obtained differs for each monitoring unit K. Therefore, by acquiring the cell voltage VC of these battery cells 22 and also acquiring the zero voltage VZ based on the wire W between them, different identification information ID can be generated for each monitoring unit K.

・特に本実施形態では、第２電池モジュールＭ２に含まれる電池セル２２の個数と、第２電池モジュールＭ２からセル電圧ＶＣを取得する第１監視部Ｋ１及び第２監視部Ｋ２が取得する端子間電圧の個数とが同数とされている。そのため、第２電池モジュールＭ２の高圧側電池セル群２４Ｈのセル電圧ＶＣを取得し、第２監視部Ｋ２が残りの低圧側電池セル群２４Ｌのセル電圧ＶＣを取得することで、第２監視部Ｋ２が第２ワイヤＷ２に基づいてゼロ電圧ＶＺを取得する特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置を、第１監視部Ｋ１が第１ワイヤＷ１に基づいてゼロ電圧ＶＺを取得する特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置に対して、端子ＣＮの番号が１つ大きくなる側にシフトさせることができる。 - In particular, in this embodiment, the number of battery cells 22 included in the second battery module M2 and the distance between the terminals acquired by the first monitoring unit K1 and the second monitoring unit K2 that acquire the cell voltage VC from the second battery module M2 The number of voltages is the same. Therefore, by acquiring the cell voltage VC of the high voltage side battery cell group 24H of the second battery module M2, and the second monitoring section K2 acquiring the cell voltage VC of the remaining low voltage side battery cell group 24L, the second monitoring section K2 determines the position of the specific terminal pair CTP from which zero voltage VZ is obtained based on the second wire W2, and the first monitoring unit K1 determines the position of the specific terminal pair CTP from which zero voltage VZ is obtained based on the first wire W1. Therefore, the terminal CN can be shifted to the side where the number increases by one.

具体的には、第１監視部Ｋ１では、高圧側電池セル群２４Ｈに含まれる９個の電池セル２２のセル電圧ＶＣを取得するため、第２１端子ＣＮ２１側から１０番目、つまり第１端子ＣＮ１側から１１番目の端子対ＣＴが特定端子対ＣＴＰとなる。一方、第２監視部Ｋ２では、低圧側電池セル群２４Ｌに含まれる１１個の電池セル２２のセル電圧ＶＣを取得するため、第１端子ＣＮ１側から１２番目の端子対ＣＴが特定端子対ＣＴＰとなる。 Specifically, in the first monitoring unit K1, in order to obtain the cell voltages VC of the nine battery cells 22 included in the high voltage side battery cell group 24H, the 10th terminal from the 21st terminal CN21 side, that is, the first terminal CN1 The eleventh terminal pair CT from the side becomes the specific terminal pair CTP. On the other hand, in the second monitoring unit K2, in order to obtain the cell voltage VC of the 11 battery cells 22 included in the low voltage side battery cell group 24L, the 12th terminal pair CT from the first terminal CN1 side is connected to the specific terminal pair CTP. becomes.

By doing so, the position of the specific terminal pair CTP can be shifted to the side farther away from the first terminal CN1 as the battery module M is on the lower voltage side. Thereby, the positions of the specific terminal pairs CTP can be easily changed.

このように、電池システム１００に含まれる複数の監視部Ｋでは、コネクタ３４において、特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置が監視部Ｋ毎に異なる。具体的には、各監視部Ｋに対応付けられた電池モジュールＭにおいて、最も高圧側の電池セル２２から、特定端子対ＣＴＰが接続される接続部ＰＳまでに設けられる電池セル２２の個数が、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる。この結果、特定端子対ＣＴＰの位置に基づいて、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる識別情報ＩＤを生成することができる。 In this manner, in the plurality of monitoring units K included in the battery system 100, the position of the specific terminal pair CTP in the connector 34 differs for each monitoring unit K. Specifically, in the battery module M associated with each monitoring section K, the number of battery cells 22 provided from the highest voltage side battery cell 22 to the connection section PS to which the specific terminal pair CTP is connected is as follows.

Therefore, the battery module M and the monitoring section K can be arranged without being restricted by the position of the wire W.

（第３実施形態）
以下、第３実施形態について、第１実施形態との相違点を中心に図５、６を参照しつつ説明する。図５に示すように、本実施形態では、電池モジュールＭと監視部Ｋとが１対１で対応付けられている点で第１実施形態と異なる。 (Third embodiment)
The third embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the battery module M and the monitoring section K are associated with each other on a one-to-one basis.

また、本実施形態では、各監視部ＫがワイヤＷの両端電圧を取得しない点で第１実施形態と異なる。本実施形態では、第１監視部Ｋ１を除く複数の監視部Ｋにおいて、コネクタ３４に含まれる端子対ＣＴの一部を、セル電圧ＶＣを取得する電池セル２２に対して余剰させ、セル電圧ＶＣを取得しない端子対ＣＴを設ける。セル電圧ＶＣを取得しない端子対ＣＴは、電池セル２２の端部ＰＥに共通接続されるようにし、これによりゼロ電圧ＶＺが取得される。本実施形態では、電池セル２２の端部ＰＥに共通接続されている端子対ＣＴを、特定端子対ＣＴＰという。 Furthermore, this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that each monitoring unit K does not acquire the voltage across the wire W. In the present embodiment, in a plurality of monitoring units K other than the first monitoring unit K1, a part of the terminal pair CT included in the connector 34 is made redundant with respect to the battery cell 22 from which the cell voltage VC is acquired, and the cell voltage VC A terminal pair CT is provided that does not obtain . The terminal pair CT that does not acquire the cell voltage VC is commonly connected to the end PE of the battery cell 22, thereby acquiring the zero voltage VZ. In this embodiment, the terminal pair CT commonly connected to the end PE of the battery cell 22 is referred to as a specific terminal pair CTP.

図５に示すように、第１監視部Ｋ１は、第１電池モジュールＭ１に含まれる２０個の電池セル２２のセル電圧ＶＣを取得する。具体的には、第１監視部Ｋ１のコネクタ３４が有する端子ＣＮ１～ＣＮ２１が、第１電池モジュールＭ１における電池セル２２の間の接続部ＰＳ及びその端部ＰＥに接続されている。第１監視部Ｋ１では、取得する端子間電圧の個数と、セル電圧ＶＣを取得する電池セル２２の個数とが等しため、ゼロ電圧ＶＺが取得されず、特定端子対ＣＴＰが存在しない。 As shown in FIG. 5, the first monitoring unit K1 acquires the cell voltages VC of the 20 battery cells 22 included in the first battery module M1. Specifically, the terminals CN1 to CN21 of the connector 34 of the first monitoring unit K1 are connected to the connection PS between the battery cells 22 in the first battery module M1 and the end PE thereof. In the first monitoring unit K1, since the number of inter-terminal voltages to be acquired is equal to the number of battery cells 22 from which cell voltages VC are acquired, zero voltage VZ is not acquired and the specific terminal pair CTP does not exist.

図６に、本実施形態のマップＭＰを示す。図６に示すように、マップＭＰでは２０個の識別記号「１」が並んで構成される情報が、第１監視部Ｋ１に対応する識別情報ＩＤとして記憶されている。 FIG. 6 shows the map MP of this embodiment.

Specifically, the terminals CN1 to CN21 of the connector 34 of the second monitoring unit K2 are connected to the connection part PS between the battery cells 22 in the second battery module M2 and the end PE thereof. In the second monitoring unit K2, the number of inter-terminal voltages to be acquired is one more than the number of battery cells 22 for which cell voltages VC are to be acquired. Therefore, in the second monitoring unit K2, the 20th terminal CN20 and the 21st terminal CN21 are commonly connected to the low voltage side end PE of the second battery module M2, forming a specific terminal pair CTP.

そのため、図６に示すように、マップＭＰでは１９個の識別記号「１」と、１個の識別記号「０」とが、この順に並んで構成される情報が、第２監視部Ｋ２に対応する識別情報ＩＤとして記憶されている。 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, in the map MP, information consisting of 19 identification symbols "1" and one identification symbol "0" arranged in this order corresponds to the second monitoring unit K2. It is stored as identification information ID.

Specifically, the terminals CN1 to CN21 of the connector 34 of the third monitoring unit K3 are connected to the connecting portion PS between the battery cells 22 in the third battery module M3 and the end PE thereof. In the third monitoring unit K3, the number of inter-terminal voltages to be acquired is two more than the number of battery cells 22 for which cell voltages VC are to be acquired. Therefore, in the third monitoring unit K3, the 19th terminal CN19 and the 20th terminal CN20 are commonly connected to the low-voltage side end PE of the third battery module M3, forming a specific terminal pair CTP, and The 20th terminal CN20 and the 21st terminal CN21 are commonly connected to form a specific terminal pair CTP.

It is stored as identification information ID.

このように、電池システム１００に含まれる複数の監視部Ｋでは、コネクタ３４において、特定端子対ＣＴＰの数が監視部Ｋ毎に異なる。具体的には、各監視部Ｋにおいて、取得する端子間電圧の個数が等しいとともに、セル電圧ＶＣを取得する電池セル２２の個数が異なり、セル電圧ＶＣを取得しない端子対ＣＴの全てがゼロ電圧ＶＺを取得するようにする。この結果、特定端子対ＣＴＰの数に基づいて、監視部Ｋ毎に異なる識別情報ＩＤを生成することができる。 In this manner, in the plurality of monitoring units K included in the battery system 100, the number of specific terminal pairs CTP in the connector 34 differs for each monitoring unit K. Specifically, in each monitoring unit K, the number of inter-terminal voltages to be acquired is the same, the number of battery cells 22 from which cell voltage VC is acquired is different, and all terminal pairs CT that do not acquire cell voltage VC have zero voltage. Make sure to get VZ. As a result, different identification information ID can be generated for each monitoring unit K based on the number of specific terminal pairs CTP.

・本実施形態では、各監視部ＫがワイヤＷの両端電圧を取得しない。そのため、ワイヤＷの位置の制約を受けずに、電池モジュールＭと監視部Ｋとを配置することができる。また、特定端子対ＣＴＰが電池セル２２の端部ＰＥに共通接続されている。そのため、接続部ＰＳに比べて特定端子対ＣＴＰを容易に共通接続させることができる。 - In this embodiment, each monitoring unit K does not acquire the voltage across the wire W. Therefore, the battery module M and the monitoring section K can be arranged without being restricted by the position of the wire W.
